Thanks to everyone who supported the development over the course of 8 months. We are proud to announce that Rhythia will release in 4 days in Early Access and will continue to improve over the next months to achieve the state we promised from the beginning.
What will the Early Access include -
The target for early access is an enjoyable and improved experience over any existing Rhythia client, and we have managed do achieve this!
Over the next 2-3 months we will intensively work to deliver more social features such as Multiplayer and Matchmaking
We have already finished very fun social features never seen before in a Rhythia client such as - Spectators and live chat. Our core mission is to achieve a fully social experience.
Expect the unexpected - since we have a small pool of testers it might be possible that you might experience downtimes and some inconvenient bugs. We try our best to fix everything as soon as possible.
There's few nuances to take in consideration for Early Access -
Because we release for a small set price on Early Access, we can't facilitate downloads of maps in game - rhythia.com is a not portal for the solely Steam Release, but a community portal for Sound Space Plus, Rhythia and Phoenyx content.
SSPM maps will still be supported, but they're not going to be downloadable from inside the game during Early Access - we respect the intellectual property of artists.
